Microblading

FAQs

WHAT IS MICROBLADING?

Microblading is a cosmetic tattoo procedure where pigment is implanted beneath the the skin by using a special hand-tool which houses a row of micro sterile, disposable needles forming  a blade that creates the appearance of hair where it is sparse. Microblading creates fullness enhancing the appearance of the brows.

DOES MICROBLADING HURT?

A topical anesthetic cream or gel is used to numb the area before and during the procedure. Pain level may vary depending upon each individual. Please note heightened sensitivity may occur during menstrual cycle.  

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?

There are several stages which include; numbing, outlining the desired shape, the actual process of Microblading, and the fine tuning of the finished process. This usually takes roughly 2-2.5 hours.

HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?

Microblading fades and the overall shape shrinks in size over time. It is dependent on skin type and lifestyle as it can effect the longevity of your cosmetic tattoo - we can not guarantee specific results. It is important to schedule a follow-up appointment after your initial treatment in 6-8 weeks for final evaluation and additional treatment to perfect your brow shape. After the 2nd treatment, touch-ups may be needed approximately after 18-24 months depending upon each individual.

HOW WILL I KNOW IF I NEED A TOUCH UP?

The best results generally come from a two step process. Touch ups allow us to analyze how the color regenerates beneath the skin and add in areas that may have healed incorrectly. Healed results are unique to each client and we do our best to create a consistent experience. Touch ups are beneficial for color restoration, shape correction, and/or any fine tuning the client desires and are highly recommended.

DO DIFFERENT SKIN TYPES REACT DIFFERENTLY TO MICROBLADING?

In short, yes. However, healed results are unique to each client. In our experience, dry skin typically heals to a finer (crisp) finish, while oily skin typically leads to a thicker (soft) healed stroke. Results vary and can be attributed to a number of factors including; skin type, lifestyle, aftercare, and environmental exposure.

ARE THERE ANY REASONS WHY I MAY BE INELIGIBLE FOR MICROBLADING?

You must be 18+ to receive a service at Wildflower Beauty + Brows. As a safety precaution, we refrain from working on individuals who are pregnant or nursing. If you have previously microbladed eyebrows by another artist or are a male client, we do require a visual consultation via email before you are eligible to book an appointment. This is to ensure expectations and achievable results coincide with one another. If you are diabetic, you must insure your diabetes is well-controlled. High blood sugar levels can complicate the healing process. We also refrain from working on individuals who are going through chemotherapy because they are at higher risks of bleeding and infection.

WHAT IS THE INDUSTRY STANDARD FOR GRATUITY?

Gratuity is neither mandatory or expected, but is appreciated and fully left to the discretion of the client.
